Today, Saturday, February 20, the people of Benue South will return to the poll to elect their senator. The contest is straight between a former Senate President, David Mark, of the Peoples Democratic Party, and David Onjeh, a former students’ leader, and candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
The election is a rerun. The Appeal Court had nullified the March 28, 2015 election of which Mr. Mark was declared winner.
Mr. Mark is 68 years old, while Mr. Onjeh is 41.
Benue South Senatorial District has nine local government areas, dominated mainly by the Idoma ethnic nationality.
The district also has significant populations of Igede, Agila, Alala, Apa and Agatu. Messrs Mark and Onjeh are native Idomas.
